In the first 10 days of the program, the credit union received more than 1,000 photo submissions, according to Kathy Warner, Wescom director of card services. Members of the $3.787 billion asset, Pasadena, Calif.-based Wescom can design their cards by uploading a photo through eBranch, the credit union’s online banking platform.
